(bl-And by surveying an equal guam
t;ty appropriated by the certificate for
the benefit of the public school fund.
The governor and land commits
sioner construed the law so that the
veteran certificates could be located,
and they were located, in good faith. and
that Texas took no steps from 1879 10
lss6 to prevent the issuance of patents.
The state is honorably bound 10 redeem
these certificates.
The trial court that decided that, tech
nical!y, veteran certificates did not have
entry by statute law into Greer county for
location, suggests the prepriety of legis.
lative relief in the premises.
The power of the legislature to pass the
bill before the committee is not Ques-
toned.
The Greer county matter should be set
at rest, because it will unquestionably
strengthen the title of the state. 1t will
open a fine region of country 10 all the
industries of the state. 1t will bring IL
rapidly large additions 10 the school
! fund. The whole Of the lands will be sub

Captain Walsh verified the state

and that he had advised locating unde
them, and that by Texans going il Their
w.s the only way Texas could get posses
sion of Greer county.
He would not patent lands in Panhandl,
as in Greer county because the Panhan

The Hawaiian gazette., 1887-08-09

A meeting of natives was held Tuesday in
kaumakapili Church. Mr.. James Keau pre-
sided. 4 series of resolutions was adopted
to be presented to His Majesty the King, and
a committee of "a appointed to present the
resolutions. Mr.. Keau headed the committee
and obtained an audience with His Majesty.
Tine purport of the resolutions was that the
new Constitution be abrogated, and the old
reestablished; that all volunteer companies
be forthwith disbanded and that all the arms
and ammunition in possession of citizens be
taken from them. His Majesty was ''com-
manded" (kauoha) to return an answer with
in twenty-four hours, otherwise there would
be another meeting to consider what was to
be done about il. His Majesty received the
committee, and, with reference to the subject
matter of the resolutions and the change of
constitution, answered substantially as fol-
lows:
The new Constitution is better than the
old; under the old Constitution, the people
went barefoot or wrapped their feet in ii
leaves; under the new, they wear shoes; under
the old Constitution, they wore the malo.
now they wear clothes like other civilized
people; under the old Constitution, they
sheltered their heads under palm leaves, now
they wear hats, and moreover this was His
Constitution. Referring to the terms of the
resolutions In which they complained that
they were deprived of their civil rights, His
Majesty invited the attention of the COM
plalnants to the fact that their civil rights
are enlarged rather than curtailed under the
new Constitution, as they formerly had no
voice in the choice of the members of the
House of Mobiles, while now they have the
sole appointment of the Mobiles in their own
hands. With respect to the disbanding of
volunteer companies, that was matter to be
considered by the Ministers. And as to the
